Going on a trackday this Saturday :cool: and I want to get the camcorder set-up in car to record some footage ...

 

... problem is I can't seem to find a decent mount. I've seen these mounts:

But they won't work on the Supe as the headrests don't have twin exposed posts :cry:

 

I'm at a loss as to what to get, but I really need to order something today at the latest! :(

I'm just a bit concerned a windscreen suction mount might not be 'deemed' secure enough by the trackday company ... although I'm not speaking from experience! :)

 

 

True I hadn't thought of that! how does your camcorder perform out of interest? any good in low light??

I was thinking ... what about getting a clamp mount and fixing it on the passenger side 'grab handle' ?? Should be secure, non?! :shrug:

It's great, no issues with low lighting, although it does have a 'Super Nightshot' setting which films in pitch blackness too! :)

cool,

 

passenger handle might be a bit tight to get behind, one thing I tried with my dslr was setting a up a tripod in the passenger foot well and then bringing the seat forward whcih holds the tripod in place, it worked really well.

Yep, and it's the bollox. Held up perfectly round Castle Combe yesterday, despite the choppy ride and high G's.

 

Normally tracks ban hand-held cameras, because you can drop them easily, and you can get hurt by 2 kilos of metal slinging around the cabin. A mount will normally be OK.
